Bruce Ohr is now a non-person

Back in during the Left's glory days in the mass murdering Soviet Union thugs in the government who fell from grace became non-persons, they were airbrushed out of pictures and history was rewritten to obliterate them.

Today the New York Times is doing the same to Bruce Ohr because he's becoming a major liability to the Left's war on Trump.

Even though Ohr was formerly the Associate Deputy Attorney General with an office just a few doors down from the head of the DOJ the NYT is now telling us that he was a nobody.

Apparently his being head Director of the DOJ's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force in the age of the opioid crisis was also no big deal.

The NYT is peddling this lie because we now know that not only did Ohr funnel information from Steele into the FBI after the FBI told the FISA court they were no longer using Steele as a source--because he'd lied to the FBI about talking to the press--but Ohr's wife worked at Fusion GPS--the source of the Steele dossier.

The conflicts of interest are massive and President Trump has pointed that out.  Hence the NYT must make Ohr a non-person so as to ridicule the idea that his actions could have been important. Though to be honest that's an invalid argument since the guy who stole all the NSA's secret files and leaked them was a very low level employee.

Unfortunately for the NYT they can't actually banish Ohr to the Gulag so they have to resort to lying about his importance.

On the plus side this means that the NYT, and their leftist friends, must be running scared if they have to resort to blatant and easily debunked lies.
